Keyless Entry and Remote

The keyless entry system on my 1996 ford explorer and the keyless remote worked up until a couple weeks ago and then they just stopped. the 7-8 and 9-0 buttons will no longer lock the doors and the interior lights will no longer illuminate when pressed. I checked the fuses but did not see any blown.

I bought a salvage toyota solara which does not come with the remote. I bought one at ebay. can anyone tell me how to programe this keyless remote? I bought a salvage toyota solara which does not come with the remote. I bought one at ebay. can anyone tell me how to programe this keyless remote?

I have had this problem take you drivers door put your key and un-lock from the out side with key (NO) then open the door push un-lock from the inside button and then set from you remote and it should set if not push un-lock then lock and then do the un-lock with the key. Let me know if that works. what my car did was locked from the inside and I had the problem were it would not work till I un-locked from the out side plus I had to go to radioshack and change the battery from the control.
Hope good happens.

The vehicle security module controls keyless entry . There are fuse's that power the vehicle security module but not a fuse just for the keyless entry ! If your having problems with the keyless entry your going to have to take it to the dealer or an ASE certified repair shop . There is no magical fuse or cure.

This is possible with almost any vehicle, especially ones with power locks. I installed keyless entry on someone car before on my own. Took about 3 hours or just take it to a local shop. Its a pretty easy install for anyone who is mechanically inclined.

To program ( or reprogram ) a keyless entry remote transmitter into the remote keyless entry module, perform the following steps:

1. Turn the key to ON or ACC and short the two terminals of the program connector, a two-pin connector located below the driver's side of the instrument panel at the base of the steering column. All doors should lock and then unlock. 2. Press any button on each keyless entry remote transmitter in turn. All doors should lock and then unlock. If the door locks do not respond, press the button again (up to three times maximum with the same keyless entry remote transmitter). If the door locks still fail to respond, go to Pinpoint Test A. 3. Repeat Step 2 to program additional keyless entry remote transmitters into the remote keyless entry module (up to four keyless entry remote transmitters maximum). 4. Turn key off. 5. Remove the short from the program connector. All doors should lock and then unlock. 6. Verify that the keyless entry remote transmitters have been successfully programmed by pressing the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each one, and observing that the system responds by locking and/or unlocking the doors.

Try reprogramming the remotes. Here are the instructions for the procedure. Hope it helps. Cobra!

Make sure that the anti-theft system is not armed or triggered.

Turn the ignition switch (11572) from OFF to RUN eight times within ten

it will lock and then unlock all doors.

Within 20 seconds, press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter,

respond, refer to Inspection and Verification.

Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up to 20 seconds after
step 2, to exit program mode. If a keyless entry remote transmitter has been
programmed (or reprogrammed), the RAP module will lock and unlock all doors one

Yes, Fords have PATS system, which is what controlls your keyless entry. It is the computer for your key fobs and keyless entry. You might have tripped itby accident, and your only solution is to take it to a dealership or someone who has Fords reprogrammimg computer to have it reflashed.

reading your post you mention to "open and close switch"..not sure what refering to...these are the instructions from your vehicles service manual...good luck!
